The pitch-black arrow pierced through the air and shot out from the hold of the ship. The pitch-black energy blossomed in the sky like thunder, emitting a deep rumble.
It was too fast, so fast that Lian Fu couldn't react in time.
His white hair was swept up by the howling wind. In just a split second, the pitch-black arrow had arrived in front of him.
Ji Chengyu's heart trembled. He felt a huge pressure all over his body, as if he was being crushed by a mountain. The sense of danger brought about by that arrow was too intense. He angrily turned his head to look at the hold of the ship.
"When did I ask you to make a move?!" Ji Chengyu angrily roared.
However, the only reply he got was silence.
Lian Fu's throat was hoarse. With a roar, he held the Black Firmament Sword in front of his chest in an attempt to block this almost unavoidable arrow.
Ding!!
That arrow crossed the air and directly nailed the Black Firmament Sword in front of Lian Fu's chest. The sturdy and sharp Black Firmament Sword actually let out a mournful wail as if it couldn't bear the weight of this arrow.
Lian Fu's figure was blasted away by the terrifying force. His figure continuously slid on the surface of the sea, setting off monstrous waves.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the Black Firmament Sword in Lian Fu's hand shattered into pieces. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his aura became extremely weak.
His eyes revealed a trace of fear as he solemnly looked at the ship. That arrow … was too terrifying. It wasn't something an ordinary person could shoot.
"King Yu … what kind of people have you colluded with? I advise you not to go astray and lead a wolf into the house, ruining the Light Breeze's great empire!" Lian Fu clutched his chest. The body of the Black Firmament Sword in his hand was already shattered, leaving only the hilt. Looking at the hilt, Lian Fu's face revealed an irrepressible grief.
Ji Chengyu's eyes were bloodshot as he turned toward the ship. He never thought that those people on the ship would make a move … They promised him that they wouldn't!
"Eunuch, you're too noisy."
A thunderous sound lingered above the vast sea. Then, another arrow whizzed out of the ship. It was as black as ink and instantly pierced through the void.
Lian Fu's eyes widened as he gathered his aura. He struck out with his palm in an attempt to block the arrow.
However, the arrow pierced through the air and instantly pierced through his body, causing scarlet blood to blossom.
Lian Fu's body staggered a few steps in the air. He gritted his teeth and the flesh on his face trembled. A huge hole had appeared on his chest and a black stream of energy was corroding the wound.
Puchi …
A large mouthful of blood spurted out as Lian Fu's complexion instantly turned deathly pale. He could no longer hold onto the hilt of the sword in his hand as it fell into the ocean, causing a small splash.
"The Profound Firmament Sword …" Lian Fu's face was filled with sorrow. That was the sword that Emperor Changfeng had bestowed upon him. It was the hope in his heart, but now, it had also shattered.
As long as the sword was there, the person was there. If the sword was broken … then it should be about time for him.
"You!!" Ji Chengyu's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the indistinct figure in the cabin. He gritted his teeth so hard that his cheeks were protruding, demonstrating the rage in his heart.
He did not want anyone else to intervene. He wanted to rely on his own strength to defeat Lian Fu, the unreachable existence in the past.
He looked at Lian Fu. At this moment, Lian Fu's vitality was rapidly fading. He clutched his chest as dark red blood continuously dripped down into the vast sea. It was swallowed up by the seawater and disappeared.
Within the seawater, fat fishes that had sniffed out the scent of blood leaped high into the air. They gathered around the spot where Lian Fu's blood had dripped onto, making a series of splashing noises.
Lian Fu's shriveled hair gradually dried up. His face was like a withered corpse as a deathly aura spread.
"King Yu … don't do something that ruined your father's life's work!"
Lian Fu sighed in a low voice.
Rip!
Ji Chengyu's pupils constricted as the scarlet color in his eyes rapidly faded away.
Another pitch-black arrow shot out from the cabin at lightning speed and directly penetrated Lian Fu's powerless body, which was floating in the air. With a 'puchi' sound, the enormous force sent Lian Fu flying a great distance away, causing a spray of blood to blossom.
Lian Fu's body was broken after all. Like a withered leaf, it helplessly floated down in the wind.
Bang!
Lian Fu's body ruthlessly smashed into the small boat on the sea. His lifeless eyes gazed at the boundless sky. His white hair was visibly turning yellow. His blood was dispersing and his vitality was disappearing.
"Your Majesty … this old servant is here to accompany you."
There seemed to be a leisurely sigh, accompanied by a sense of relief.
Ji Chengyu took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they had already regained their calmness.
He took a step forward and returned to the deck. Looking at the lonely boat, the corners of his mouth involuntarily trembled as an indescribable sorrow emerged in his heart.
Lian Fu was still dead in the end. However, death was also a form of release for him.
"King Yu, if the Venerable One didn't make a move, you might not be a match for Chief Eunuch Lian. Isn't the Venerable One worried about you?"
Inside the cabin, Zhao Ruge slowly walked out with a paper fan in his hand. There was a gentle smile on his face. However, when that smile landed in Ji Chengyu's eyes, it seemed to carry an indescribable sense of mockery.
"Then … what should we do with Chief Eunuch Lian's body?" Zhao Ruge asked.
Ji Chengyu took one more look at Lian Fu's body and lightly exhaled. He turned his head and walked back into the cabin.
"After all, he was father's most trusted aide. Tidy up the body … and send it back to Ji Chengxue for a proper burial."
…
The imperial city of the Light Wind Empire.
Inside the Great Strength Hall, Ji Chengxue slowly walked with his hands behind his back. The Great Strength Hall was extremely spacious. The eunuchs and palace maids had all been chased out by him, so no one disturbed him.
Suddenly, Ji Chengxue stopped in his tracks. One of his eyelids began to violently twitch and his mind trembled.
Suddenly, Ji Chengxue patted his chest and his complexion became deathly pale.
He turned around and looked through the main door of the Great Strength Hall toward the vault of heaven. In the boundless vault of heaven, there seemed to be a stream of light descending.
Narrowing his eyes, Ji Chengxue let out a soft sigh.
The Xiao family of the imperial city.
Xiao Meng sat in his study and was meditating while practicing calligraphy. Suddenly, the tip of his brush stopped and a large pool of ink splashed out, completely destroying the calligraphy in front of him.
At this moment, his state of mind suddenly became somewhat restless.
After hanging the brush on the brush holder, Xiao Meng tore the calligraphy on the table apart. With his hands behind his back, he walked to the window and gazed into the distant horizon.
…
Steaming hot air and a rich aroma gushed out from a dish on the table. The heat waves rolled and surged violently.
"Owner Bu … Isn't this the recipe for the Dragon River Vinegar Fish?" Xiao Yanyu blinked her beautiful eyes at the sight of the Elixir Cuisine and asked curiously.
The recipe for the Dragon River Vinegar Fish … How did Owner Bu know it so well? Moreover, the concoction of the sauce was especially important, as it required skill and proficiency.
The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up. The recipe notebook had detailed the recipe for the Dragon River Vinegar Fish, as well as the things to pay attention to. After carefully studying it several times, Bu Fang felt as if the knowledge had been imprinted in his mind and could not be erased.
The main ingredient of the Elixir Cuisine this time was also fish meat. It just so happened that he was going to try out the recipe for the Dragon River Vinegar Fish.
Even though the fish meat was different, the two dishes were fundamentally different. After all, it was an Elixir Cuisine, which focused on the medicinal properties of the food itself.
He used so many elixirs to boil the fish meat, causing the essence of the elixirs to seep into the meat. The final sauce was concocted with the Blood Crown, which allowed the medicinal properties to reach an extremely impactful level.
He had observed Xiao Keyun's injuries. The poison he had been inflicted with was extremely severe. Using ordinary medicinal cuisine to alleviate the symptoms would not solve the root of the problem. It was too difficult, or even impossible, to cure him. Therefore, Bu Fang decided to use a strong medicinal effect to give it a try.
This piece of fish meat was the essence of the Demonic Fish. Moreover, it was impervious to the corrosion of the black gas, which meant that this piece of fish meat had special properties that could resist the black gas. There was nothing better than using it as a main ingredient.
In addition, the essence of numerous elixirs had been absorbed by the fish meat. With the Blood Crown as the sauce, the medicinal effects of the Blood Crown Drunken Demonic Fish would definitely be extremely terrifying. It was much more potent than the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup that Bu Fang had just brewed.
Walking to the entrance of the kitchen, he pushed open the tightly shut door. Immediately, a group of people from the Xiao Family who were waiting outside blinked their eyes at Bu Fang.
"Come in, bring the patient in. The Elixir Cuisine is ready. Whether it works … depends on his own luck," Bu Fang said calmly.
Bu Fang said indifferently. Xiao Keyun's injuries were too severe. The poison had almost corroded a large part of his body. Even though he had the essence of the Demonic Fish, Bu Fang was not sure if the effect would be the same.
Lin Qin'Er was very excited. She hurriedly ordered people to carry Second Master Xiao in.
Second Master Xiao's complexion was still very weak, and his spirit was also very dispirited.
However, when he smelled the rich aroma that permeated the kitchen, his eyes lit up. He felt that the pain in his body had been greatly suppressed.
"Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Bu." Xiao Keyun cupped his hands at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang waved his hand and glanced at the people from the Xiao Family. Then, he pointed at the plate of steaming Elixir Cuisine on the table.
"This is the Elixir Cuisine. Madam Xiao, please feed him," Bu Fang said calmly.
The eyes of the people from the Xiao Family fell upon the dish that Bu Fang had placed on the table. Their pupils constricted in an instant, and they were extremely puzzled.
"Isn't this … the Dragon River Vinegar Fish? Can the Dragon River Vinegar Fish save Second Master? Isn't this … nonsense! "
